The principles of EU Directive 95/46/EC should also be applied to laws protecting data of organizations who trust a cloud service vendor to provide a reliable and economical service. And last but not least: copying data without the consent or authorization of the owner should become a criminal offense.

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 03:52:01 +0000http://gigaom.com/?p=20572#comment-146815There is a big constitutional level problem lurking about whether storing your data in the cloud means you give the data to the cloud provider (ala phone records), or continue to own the data but “rent” an extension of your own property to house it (ala an apartment or storage locker). The core issue here is do you retain your rights with regards to search and seizure, or do you give your cloud vendor and the federal government complete rights to protect your data (or not) as they see fit.

I hope Google addresses this. Otherwise, enterprises will find themselves driven to build private clouds, within their own four walls, where there are few questions about search and seizure rights, not to mention privacy rights in general. Read my post for more details.

Quick file a patent on setting up a data center in Space for disaster recovery :-)

I think Google has lost some of its boyish charm. 10-year old company is already behaving like an hormone going astray – erratic teenager.
– Names a browser on what till yesterday meant wheels on a Car – Chrome
– dreams of data center rigs (instead of oil rigs) – mining for data instead of oil
– Calls floating data center part of cloud.
